About a month ago, my Mom & Dad were over to watch Audrey and my Dad says, "by the way, I just bought a sailboat this week." Say what?!? My Dad has never captained a sailboat in his life. In fact, I think he has only been on one or two his entire life and that was...
Our ultrasound appointment was exactly 2 weeks ago on August 2nd - right at 20 weeks. The first half of my pregnancy seemed to fly by this time. I remember with Audrey that it seemed to take FOREVER for the much-anticipated ultrasound date to finally arrive. This time...
I know I have not been keeping up with this blog as I intended. I got out of the groove and haven't made it a priority as I should. There's so much to write about and I'm so behind that it's almost too overwhelming to know where to start. My goal is to do one post a...

Since Justin is out with the guys tonight, I decided that Audrey and I would treat ourselves to a girls dinner out. I was driving around, trying to decide where we should eat, when I pulled into the Olive Garden parking lot. Immediately, Audrey excitedly shouted...
